BLOGS OF THE DAY: Lupita in the running for Star Wars role

Lupita Nyong'o is reportedly reading for the part of a major female role in the next installment of the Star War series

The 12 Years A Slave Oscar-winning actress is reportedly reading for the part of a major female role in the next installment of the Star War series.

Lupita Nyong'o has allegedly had several meetings for a Star Wars: Episode 7 role.

The Mexican-born actress has been meeting with director JJ Abrams this past month to read for a major female role, Latino Review reports.

Sources have also indicated that Lupita hasn't signed on to the film as of yet, but she is very close to.

The 30 year-old might be reading for the role of a Sith, as her character doesn't seem to be tied into the family lines from episode four-six, the news report also states.

This could be an even bigger part for Nyong'o than her career defining role in Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave.

The Latino-Review also tried to contact Lupita's reps for any comments on the rumoured role, but their response was simply, "We're not allowed to talk about that." - contactmusic.com.com
